Opening, then jarring, an 8oz bag of G&H Brown Flake A. 
That's good stuff - the old Erinmore is a great smoke. Murray's were great blenders. How did you find it?
The moisture is perfect! This was my first taste of Erinmore. I've never had it fresh so I can't compare but the fruit topping is delicious and only adds to the tobacco experience. I love VaBurs so I will be looking for more.
A few tins going pop today. Not that i need any more opened stuff, but life in the smoking lounge necessitates as many variations in adventure as possible while i tap my toes waiting for my new certificate of occupancy in Florida. I used to smoke 8-12 bowls a day, but as the delays continue i think i'm upward of 10-15 now! :P
C &D Seersucker - first timer with this one.
Sammie G's Kendal Cream:
Cobblestone Kentucky Plug - i enjoyed the burley plug, so giving this one a go.
And last, but hopefully not least, Cascadia Vertical Limit - supposed to be a heavy hitter.

Another new one, to me. VaPer with black cavendish centers? Something like that. Artificial light, not helpful, but you get the idea.
Fruity aroma from the tin, same as all Charatan blends I've met so far. Moisture ok. Lights easily.

I like that one. It's a decent replacement for the discontinued (UK, anyway) Davidoff Flake Medallions.
Busted into a couple bags of to-try KBV blends today.
A couple more for today. Liking the Red Line so far. Not sure about the top note on the Van Gogh.
I'm a big fan of this one. I pressed a few tins into a puck as well to see if that does anything over time. I enjoy the expirements.
Dug into the Hermit Tobacco tin pile this morning. Picked out a one of the tins of XVV. Can't wait to give it a whirl!
Bold advice on the front of that tin (smoking kills - quit now). That is one heck of a marketing scheme. Its a bold strategy, let's see if it pays off.
Very common on all tobacco related packaging. "Smoking quits - kill now", and we say yeah yeah yeah, more government fearmongering.
This was a SS gift a few years ago from Jay in Oregon, haven't seen him around in a bit...
Don't know how to read the codes to determine year.
As far as the leaf goes, I opened it a few days ago and it has been one of the most confusing blends I've ever tried. I'm not sure I "get it", but there's something there that makes me keep trying...
The mechanics are excellent as far as moisture level, prep-ability, staying lit, etc. But it confuses the heck out of my palate; yet it seems to have hijacked it as I want to figure it out.

My wife found this at our local antiques mall for $4. Unfortunately the seal was gone on it but I’m rehydrating it now and hoping for the best. Chances are it’ll be terrible but you never know!
